But is this an illusion? Would it be wiser to see religion as a dangerous and authoritarian game\, or do we require a plurality of belief systems to offset the monolith of scientific knowledge?</em>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong><em>The Limits of My World&nbsp\;</em></strong>(Sunday 26th&nbsp\;May 5:30pm)</p>\n<p><em>Language has been the focus of philosophical enquiry for the last century. But was the &lsquo\;linguistic turn&rsquo\; a wrong turn\, leading to a barren discipline without &lsquo\;real world&rsquo\; influence? Is it time for a fresh approach to the big issues\, or would this be a capitulation to intellectual fantasy?</em></p>\n<strong><em>Letting Go&nbsp\;</em></strong>(Saturday 1st&nbsp\;June 10:30am)<br><br><em>Ours is a consumer society. We work in order to buy\, and measure our success in possessions. Is this a tragic error? Should we seek to free ourselves from our attachment to material things as a route to happiness\, or is this just an opiate for the unsuccessful?</em>\n\n<p>&lsquo\;A cerebral and imaginative start to the summer season&rsquo\;&nbsp\;(<em>The Independent</em>)</p>\n<p>&lsquo\;A storming success&rsquo\;&nbsp\;(<em>The New Scientist</em>)</p>\n<p>&lsquo\;Europe&rsquo\;s answer to TED&rsquo\;&nbsp\;<em>(Total Politics)<br></em></p>\n\n<p><br></p>\n<p>For media accreditation\, images and interview requests\, contact Bianca Brigitte Bonomi or Anna Southby at Bed PR.</p>\n<p>E:&nbsp\;bianca@bedpr.com</a>&nbsp\;/ M: 07878194220</p>\n<p>E:&nbsp\;anna@bedpr.com</a></p>\n<p>For more information\, visit:&nbsp\;</p>
